He shared: "Some of the villains like Pat Phelan, like Richard Hillman, they’re just slightly above reality.
"Richard Hillman pulling on the gloves was just a hoot but there was something about Geoff which actually is very real and the fact is that is happening to women in real life."
The "most emotional" storyline of his career was Hayley Cropper's death - with the famous 2010 live tram crash episode also one of his highlights.
